Ocean Jasper (Orbicular Jasper) is a very rare variety of Jasper that can only be found in Madagascar. This particular variety of Jasper is known for it's vibrant colors and distinctive orb-like patterns which are a result of Quartz (Feldspar) needle-like crystals that come together to create spherical structures. Ocean jasper comes in green, brown, blue, yellow, grey, white, pink, and red. The red Hughes derive from iron in the form of hematite, yellow and gray from Clay, and brown often from Geothite. The earliest history of Ocean Jasper is unknown. Although, deposits were first written about in Alfred LaCroix's "Mineralogy of Madagascar" and the earliest known examples of Ocean Jasper belonged to Richard Baldauf in Kambamby. The stone's rarity could arguably be a result of the harsh conditions of which it must be extracted. Ocean Jasper is mined from the base of a cliff, only accessed by boat during low tide. Because of this, the stone can only be collected by hand, as large mechanical digging equipment could not be used. The extraction of Ocean Jasper was stopped in 2006 when locality was deemed depleted as well as heightened safety risks. Sadly, only seven deposits have been found and most, if not all have been mined out. Jasper on the market today is either a back stock or has been hoarded by collectors and sellers for years.

Ocean Jasper - cube cut from the first vein

Ocean Jasper, also known as orbicular jasper, is a variety of quartz. It has fibrous spherulites formed as a result of extensive alteration and silification of former tuffs. These structures tend to have radial growth from central points which give the stone circular orbicular patternings. It comes in many colors and spherical patterns, and its hardness on the Mohs scale is 7. It is found in northwestern Madagascar in the Analalava district. There are several known veins, each with unique attributes. The original first vein is located near the village of Marovato, having similar patterns to the eighth vein, which is nearly tapped-out.

Below are some polished slabs and spheroids cut from the eighth vein.

Ocean Jasper, a marketing term for a spherulitic orbicular jasper, a variety which contains coloured orbs or spherical inclusions or zones.

"This new rock has been found along the northwest coast of Madagascar after years of unsuccessful searching. The deposit formed as a rhyolite flow but has been completely silicified. The rhyolitic eyes or orbs come in an astonishing array of colors and color combinations. The background can be white, pink, green, red, or yellow. Botryoidal formations as well as white and deep green druzy are also common. The deposit has been discovered at the edge of the ocean. It can only be seen and collected at low tide. The area has no road so the material must be transported to civilization by boat." (The Lapidary Journal)

The existence of chalcedony deposits in the area was first written about in Alfred Lacroix's Minéralogie de Madagascar published in 1922. However orbicular material is not specifically mentioned. Dr. Klaus Thalheim has documented one of the earliest known examples of Ocean Jasper, a slab from Kabamby. It belonged to Richard Baldauf, an early 20th century German collector.

In 1977 a photo of Kabamby Ocean Jasper was included in Grund's Encyclopédie des Minéraux (Encyclopedia of Minerals), sparking interest in the stone. Ocean Jasper was rediscovered at the turn of the millennium by Paul Obeniche. Like many others, he first saw it in Grund's encyclopedia. Paul launched a series of excursions to locate it. Ocean Jasper was found again in October of 1999, on the shoreline outside the village of Marovato. The original Kabamby material was found nearby later.

Ocean Jasper was introduced to the general public at the Tucson gem show in January of 2000. It was named there by Paul Obeniche and Eugene Mueller. They called it Ocean Jasper because it resembles the waves and ripples of water and the mine was first discovered along the shoreline, originally accessible only at low tide.
